Can of worms..... but entertaining..... :lurk:

It was just great to meet up with all people again, especially with Sean (again) and Todd (new)... I assume Sean has made his conclusions regarding the "Eurocarve-style"...... And Todd even managed to ride my 185/15 cm board without serious injuries:rolleyes: Cheers, Eric

The second has arrived, was tested, and proven GOOD !! Edit.... was not quite sober when putting on the decals........ those things rock though !!

That "tool" is only milled aluminum. but it works great. Glued to the board with a bit of Sikaflex. Regarding "riding with them": just do it !! check our website, and look for the "events" Big event in March again, in Silvretta Montafon (Austria), with the Pureboarding guys and gals.

As I remember right it were parts of board base material, glued to the glove. Maybe one of the LaydownKangaroos can specify that a bit more.

Hi Pogo-Joe, I am currently re-setting up the Forum because of some technical problems. That is why I closed the regisration for a while. As soon as all security settings are made, registration will be possible again. cheers Eric

guess it´s a "Stingray" on Dope......... please report on the bersy II @Pogo: although green is faster as red (fact), black is only faster if combined with green jackets ! WORD !!!

Hi TLN, no, it is leaning way back to the car...so only an optical illusion... You can see it at the other pictures where the inserts are.

Ace: Ferraris just don´t make that much fun in snow:ices_ange And they´re not green either......

xy9ine: it´s a one-man-company in Germany, he builds just-for-fun... no great output in numbers. But the current shapes are awesome. This actually is a Backside, I´m a Goofy rider

Something new...... and since green is definitely the fastest color.....:) :)

Hi both, nice to see some more international stuff happening on the FB. There is an english section in there, and all the members know english, so just jump in there. Native language is German, try google will help, but probably not always to understand the "bullsh*t" that is being written there :-) @Michael: try to log on now... account is created (as you suggested, the michael_a account) Edit: I already set your system language to english :)

Hi Michael, due to the fact the Forum was hacked, and some other stuff, I had to shut down several IP and email ranges. gmail is one of them. This only affects new registrations. I could make you a manual registration anytime, no problem, just send me a PN here... Cheers Eric

If I might be allowed to talk about some exotic ones from across the pond: The Dupraz is good in the soft, but on hardpack............. just turns too tight and is too slobby. But there is the Alpinepunk from Sweden... designed for just that !... Afterburner, Metalburner and Superswede, they all do it better on hardpack, and can hold their own in the pow. I tested a board from Switzerland last februar, an Oxess Prototype.... 180ish, +20ish wide, was great in pow, and also made a very good feeling on the slopes. Tight and laid out. Oxess-Typical extreme long effective edge. Best of both worlds combined I have witnessed so far, driven myselves or seen driven, is the Virus "La Glisse" 186. Gun shape. Above that there is the same shape in even more awesome technique, the "Godess". Seen full laid out turns EC-Style as well as power stuff. And Powder stuff. Another awesome league is the "Pogo" Pow longboard, also from Germany, but for pow only.

You can find them here, but the Ad is in German. http://www.frozen-backside.de/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=4927 From where in Belgium are you? There is an indoor hall directly near Düsseldorf, you could even test it there:D

Hi gTa, If you want, I have some DeeLuxe in size 27 Track700 you could try and even buy. They are for sale. They are 4 years old, but only used one season, since I went to UPZ rc10. Location of the shoes is near Düsseldorf, Germany.

Just on a side note: since you are in Sweden, you might want to hook up with Mats (also his nickname in this Forum). He represents his own brand, Alpinepunk. Typical quality gear, maybe exactly what you are looking for. If he is not busy shredding on a LesPaul, he is out there in the white stuff. Contact him over his homepage ( http://www.alpinepunk.com/ ) or through the forum.

You might want to stick with the Large ones. Last year I´ve collected F2 binding pieces and someone on the slope. Seemed it broke because he used medium bindings at it´s most outer settings. The plastic was torn through.

@Ace: thanks for the great pics!

This season is fully different than the ones before... See to it you scrape the money together, get a flight and accomodation.. it dumped like Hell in the European Alps. 4 Ft of Fresh was like SurfHeaven last week.:1luvu:

Don´t know what your problems are.... a: you buy new heels. the nuts and bolts are included. Newer UPZ have the nuts installed. in older ones you have to put them in. method: get a larger (50mm or so) M6 bolt (Hex head) without the locktite on it, and some washers. Put the heel in place, drive the long bolt with washers through and place the nut. This makes sure it is aligned. Then start tightening it untill it FULLY rests on the shoe´s sole. You pull it in place. Use a flashlight to check! also do this on new UPZ where the nuts were originally installed, to really drive (pull) them in. b: used heels and shoes not nutted. Get those nuts and M6 bolts from your local hardware store, and also one longer one, together with some washers, and do the above. Remove the longer screw and replace with fitting phillips head, alle, torx whateverscrews with some medium loctite. Check for fastening after a half a day of boarding.

@Ace.... when again did you move into the soft stuff area? :D Mine have 150+ with "full dogg petting", Ugly Laydownstuff, Chrueppelcarving and so on on Europes slopes... most Hardpack/Icy. Caught myselves more than once where it was -20°C and Gloves were hot after a loooooong laydown. Gloves still alive. But I also have to give a negative note to those gloves. Mine are heavily modificated by now from the outside, but tearing apart from the inside. Always wore thin inner gloves in them, since day 2, otherwise they were too cold day 1 was so Frig**** you can guess the rest:D Outside protected by "Sikaflex" for rubbing through, guess have the 4th grind layer now. Pinkey to middlefinger glued together to minimize the impact of "Death Cookies". The long sleeve model I have is genious if it comes to snow penetration. but it needs "Sika" now and then too. Fact.. best gloves ever.... but cold, and they do wear out from the inside.
